Java squaring not giving correct result

[vectorx5000]

I am learning java and am working on this calculator. When I give the input "1",  "12",  "sq" it gives the result 14.0 when it should be 144. Can anyone help me? Also, I would like tips about my code in general. I am very new, so I am expecting lots of criticism. I called my scanner krimz just so it is easy to remember.

package calc;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.lang.Math;

public class Calculator {
	public static void main(String args[]){
		System.out.println("Press '1' for single number operations or '2' for 2 number operation.");
		
		Scanner krimz = new Scanner(System.in);
		int type;
		type = krimz.nextInt();
		
		switch(type){
			case 1:
				int num;
				double answer1;
				String operation1;
				System.out.println("Single number operation calculator: ");
				
				System.out.println("Enter number: ");
				num = krimz.nextInt();
				
				System.out.println("Enter operation: [sqrt, sq]");
				operation1 = krimz.next();
				
				switch(operation1){
					case "sqrt":
						answer1 = Math.sqrt(num);
						System.out.println("Your answer is " + answer1);
					break;
					case "sq":
						answer1 = num ^ 2;
						System.out.println("Your answer is " + answer1);
					break;
				}
			break;
			case 2:
				int first, second, answer2;
				String operation;
				System.out.println("Two number calculation calculator: ");
				System.out.println("Enter first number: ");
				first = krimz.nextInt();
				System.out.println("Enter second number: ");
				second = krimz.nextInt();
				System.out.println("Press the operation you want: ");
				operation = krimz.next();
				switch(operation){
					case "+":
						answer2 = first + second;
						System.out.print("Your answer is " + answer2);
					break;
					case "-":
						answer2 = first - second;
						System.out.print("Your answer is " + answer2);
					break;
					case "*":
						answer2 = first * second;
						System.out.print("Your answer is " + answer2);
					break;
					case "/":
						answer2 = first / second;
						System.out.print("Your answer is " + answer2);
					break;
				}
			break;
		}
	}
}

^ does not mean "to the power of"

you're doing binary XOR for 12 and 2 which is indeed 14

you should instead use

 answer1=Math.Power(num,2);
	//or do a multiplication
	answer1=num*num;

Thank you. I forgot how to raise to the power of in java.
